Three things make a post

1. Me when I watch reacters on YT: some of you have grown up by never watching any media not in your native language that has subtitles and it shows. Okay, listen, I know there are a whole variety of reasons why people struggle with subtitles but English language privilege is a thing and if I got a pound every time a reacter went 'omg it's so haaaaaaaaaard to read the subtitles and also follow the mv' I would by now have paid at least half of my monthly energy bill.

2. I have written 30k of fic this year. Please witness.

3. Is anyone interested in betaing 6k of femmeslash? I finally finished the Hustlers (2019 film) post-canon Destiny/Ramona fic. It's barely a T and mostly just them gettinng back together. And then getting together. Mostly I just want a spag check but if you've watched the movie then awesome. If you haven't you should, but you could also watch this awesome fanvid by sisabet. AO3 link here for comments.

Watch on YouTube

Obviously, there are people who have physical issues with subtitles but otherwise I've never understood this.

I *want* to hear the actor's voice which is so much part of their performance, even if I can't understand what they're saying. Dubs always distort this, always. I accidentally caught the first few minutes of Yin-Yang Master dubbed - settings were wrong - and they both sounded like American dude bros.

I have watched so much with subtitles because Pat is very hard of hearing that I don't even think about them anymore. Even if it's in a language I understand, I read the subtitles. (I'm always amused when they don't actually match the dialogue.)

You write a lot.

I'm desperately trying to get ahead on the second book, as the first book comes out this month, and I have to have the second book in to the publisher by October. EGADS!

Ugh, people who complain about subtitles are the worst--well actually the very worst are people who won't even consider a film/show/what have yous if it's subtitled. There is so much great cinema out there that isn't in English, you're really missing out if you dismiss it all. I'd take subtitles over dubbing all day everyday.

30000!?!? Go you! That's amazing!

Sadly, I haven't seen that movie (and am horrible at SPAG) but I'm really into femslash right now, so would love a link when got post it. ❤️❤️

1. Yeah. YEAH.

(Also, uh, condolences to your family on the outcome of the elections so far. I hope Orpo at least makes the sane decision with regards to coalition rather than the Bad Decision).
